I'll pass David on the left here ;-)
Knoppix proved years ago that you can run the whole damn thing out of RAM
back when 512K was big.
In datacenters in recent years, if a server is swapping, a problem ticket
is opened and alarm raised. Just because
the OS can handle it easily, nevertheless it's still a negative indicator.
I just took possession of a free used Dell
PowerEdge R610 for home, retiring after 5 years hard time in chilled rooms.
It has 96GB RAM. I could run NASA out of that much RAM ;-)
